At the request of Tavi (wiki) and his wife Anaheed, This American Life host and MetaFilter favorite Ira Glass has contributed an Ask A Grown Man segment (NSFW audio) (AAGM previously) to Rookie. As an added bonus, he instructs viewers on how to make balloon animals, based on a pamphlet he used as a young man entertaining at parties. When not dispensing balloon advice in this clip, he discusses Buffy & Angel's age discrepancy and blow jobs. (via)

Tavi Williams, Style Rookie. Tavi is a (self-described) "Tiny 13 year old dork that sits inside all day wearing awkward jackets and pretty hats. Scatters black petals on Rei Kawakubo's doorsteps and serenades her in rap. I have no where near 4 million readers. Rather cynical and cute as a drained rat. In a sewer. Farting. And spitting out guts." She's been blogging about fashion while living with her parents in a Chicago suburb since she was 11. A lot of the blog is photos of herself, taken by herself. In March, talking about New York with Interview Magazine, she said: "I really, really want to go back and I'm talking to my parents about letting me go for Fashion Week in September. It's only like the second week of school when all we do is like sharpen pencils and talk about not bullying." According to the Daily Mail, she got her wish: "For one week I was in Utopia full of people who can recognise that my jacket is Luella. A lot of my classmates don't get it. But some do." Her posts about it: stylish people from nyfw being stylish and stylish and cool and stylish part 1, part 2. She is now (or was just) in Tokyo and has been getting some pretty amazing opportunities. She also loves Freaks and Geeks and has various other online presences.
